Swamp People is our favorite show in the entire world. This was our favorite superbowl commercial as well, aside from the Chevrolet commercial where all that was left at the end of the world were Chevy truck and twinkies. That one was pretty stinkin' funny too.

We hope you will thoroughly enjoy this commercial and that you soon will be claiming that Swamp People is your new favorite show.

So this year for Valentine's Day we got to eat at Thaifoon, which is a super yummy Asian Cuisine place in Salt Lake and then we went to the Lady Antebellum Concert!!! Darius Rucker and Thompson Square were both there and we had such a good time! Cole surprised me on Christmas with the proof of purchase of 2 tickets to this concert and it just so happened to be on Valentine's Day! I would say that this was all a very smooth move on his part. :)

He bought me some beautiful flowers, that I took a long time to notice, and got me a cute little card that I also took a while to understand. I guess I just had a lot on my mind that day!

The next day I made him dinner, a heart shaped confetti cake with rainbow chip icing (his favorite:)) and gave him a book with things that I love about him written in it. I feel like I could write a whole book about everything that makes me in love with him. He's an amazing man and I'm so happy that our marriage will last forever. :)

We sat at the exact same table as we did the last time we ate there over a year ago!

Us enjoying the concert.

Cole was so happy about his cake! I know now to never go on a cake baking contest show or anything of the like.

My beautiful roses trying to get some sun. :)

Madi and her boyfriend got engaged on Valentine's Day as well! We're so excited for them - welcome to the family Jason!! :)

So now that's it has been over a month since we've said anything - here's what's been going on!

We've been in school for a little over 6 weeks now, and midterms are right around the corner, so studying is a must right now. We both have a pretty full load this semester, so we don't really have a life besides school, eating and sleeping. We manage to squeeze in movies (sometimes when we shouldn't, i.e. Marley & Me this past Saturday) as well as BYU basketball just so we don't go insane. :)

We gave talks in Church last month on the 22nd, and I'd say they both went well considering the fact that L. Tom Perry's daughter-in-law ask for a copy of our talks! We are loving our new ward. The people in it and in our neighborhood are so nice and loving. We hope to be here as long as we can!

Cole still loves to play soccer and he goes to play in a church gym here in Orem with a group of friends that he's played soccer with for years - that's how we met too might I add. :) We're also on a co-ed intramural soccer team together with a bunch of the friends that play soccer every week, and it's been fun! We won the first game, but ended up losing our second one - something we're not good at dealing with. We hate to lose at anything. Haha! :)

And last but not least, we have some pictures that we have yet to post even though some are from Christmas break, so I'm going to share them with y'all!

My favorite Christmas present - a Texas shaped waffle iron!

Temple Square lights with the Gordon family.

Dr. Pepper taste contest on New Years Eve. I can totally sense the difference between the diet and the real deal.

We tried to make horchata, but failed miserably. It looks good, but it tasted so gross!

We've had some good seats at the basketball games!

UTAH GOT A B-DUBBS!!

Our tomato soup bowls matched our shirts (and I cut my hair).

We finally got to hang out with Eric and Ariana! Too bad we ended up losing this game to St. Mary's.

Welp! That's about all I can think of for now.

We love and miss each and every one of our family members and friends and pray for you every night!
